Intrigued by the idea of a footpath to Java, I followed it and arrived here. I was both sorry and glad to find this outbreak of council house gothic. Sorry, because with their flat-fronted towers, ill-proportioned windows and greying harled walls, they are totally out of keeping with the traditional style of house on the island; and glad because, being tucked away here, they cannot be seen from anywhere else.
